Speaking at Mar-a-Lago, a private club and resort owned by Trump in Florida, Dr. Carson said he and the GOP frontrunner had “buried the hatchet” and is backing him for his run to the White House.

Carson said that all has been forgiven between the two rivals.

“I know there will be some who want to underscore our differences and others will wish to return to statements he has made about me in the past, but that is politics," he said. "As a man of faith, all is forgiven and we have moved beyond the past, as the future is now."

At Friday morning’s news conference, Carson said Trump is “actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America.”

Carson added that Trump is a “much more reasonable person than he comes across.”
